The controversy over Zhang Ling He looking too pretty as the General in C-drama Pursuit of Jade is unfortunately for him not dying down. Beyond fellow actor Peter Ho getting unexpected good popularity in comparison, the mocking of Zhang Ling He as the “General Who Wears Foundation” is getting bigger in C-ent social media with memes proliferating. The government newspaper has also spoken with an op ed criticizing the way television shows sideline authenticity for pretty visuals, oooph what a full slap on the face towards the production team of PoJ. Zhang Ling He’s side is also doing no favors by trying to downplay the backlash rather than addressing it with the usual contrition and acceptance of the criticism. What a bummer for him and for the drama which started off so strong and is now ending with controversy and falling Douban ratings as well.
